Placed in the cannon's fire hole medicine pool, the moment the stone pine spore powder with a dull metallic luster was touched and ignited by the high-temperature iron drill, the brilliant fireworks-like golden fire snake and thick white smoke suddenly rose. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!) Suddenly, these plant seeds, which usually look extremely small, burst out with incomparably powerful destructive power under the high temperature, and with the golden flames and white smoke spewed out by the bronze cannons, the thousand-pound naval guns moved backwards several meters away, if it were not for the wooden gun carriages fixed on the side of the ship by hemp ropes the thickness of an adult's forearm, and at the same time relying on the complex structure of pulley groups to cushion the recoil of the artillery shots, I am afraid that at the moment of firing, these guns would have rushed out from the opposite direction and fell into the etheric sea.
Vina Dubov had perfectly inherited the excellent eyesight from the elven blood, and when she reported the results of the battle at the first time, she shouted with irrepressible joy:
"Round hit three! The built hull is turned, and the starboard side is ready to fire! ”
When Luo Zhengdao heard this, he naturally became kind, nodded and said:
"Immediately turned to sailing, and the starboard guns were ready to fire."
The intricate sail rigging on the Yangwei, so complicated that a layman's dizziness would have been juggling in the hands of experienced sailors, the battleship's massive hull brushing a circular trajectory with a minimal turning radius. The wooden planks creaked and rattled as if they might fall apart at any moment, and the battlefield shape shì became a Yangwei to meet the enemy on the starboard side.
The duration of this artillery battle continued to prolong, and the distance between the enemy and us was unconsciously narrowed, and through the limited field of vision provided by the monoculars, Luo Zhengdao could already see what his enemy really looked like. How should we evaluate these enemies on the other side? In Luo Zhengdao's view, it is purely a rabble. There was a mixture of orcs and half-orcs as well as half-elves and tyvelines, dwarves and fishmen among the sailors on the deck, and of course, the largest number of human crews, but none of the goblins he expected.
If this is a professional pirate fleet, then their clumsy appearance is too embarrassing for pirates, even a rookie like Luo Zhengdao can see that the opponent's attack lacks rhythm, and the tactical level of mutual cooperation is even more inferior. With this bit of strength, he tried in vain to pursue himself who had a sixth-tier battleship, could it be that the other party was poor and crazy?
This cruel world never believes in tears! In his opinion, there are only two kinds of coincidences in the world, one is that you don't know the reason, so you think it's a coincidence, and the other is that you know that there must be something strange in it, but in order to comfort yourself, you have to say that it's just a coincidence. Since even a battlefield junior brother like Luo Zhengdao can see how lame the opponent's actual combat level is, and he can't see how incompetent his sailors are, the leader of this group of amateur pirates can quickly find a noodle and hang himself.
"Idiots, a bunch of useless idiots!"
With a murderous gaze, he glanced at the three-legged cat team that his subordinates had put together, and he was good at manipulating conspiracies and tricks behind the scenes, but the black-robed magician who was not good at commanding the army to win a decisive victory on the battlefield was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth, and he also scolded these idiots in his heart. Despite this, no matter how reluctant the black-robed warlock is to admit the reality, he can't win a battle on his own, so he needs these stupid pig-like minions to work to achieve his goal, and no matter how dissatisfied he is, he has to press it down.
At the same time, when Luo Zhengdao saw this mysterious figure hidden under the hood of his cloak for the first time, he instinctively sensed the aura of danger. It's like encountering a poisonous snake in the dark of night, even if you can't see each other clearly, just a little suspicion can scare pedestrians into sweating.
Feeling the cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, Luo Zhengdao called the boatswain, and asked bluntly as soon as they met:
"Zola, are you guys preparing for a broadside battle?"
He didn't have a prominent background, and he became the first mate of the pirates by pure personal effort and a little luck, and of course Zola Hegel had the ability to observe words and looks, and he saw the slight change in Luo Zhengdao's expression, and said tentatively:
"Yes, Your Excellency...... You don't want to back down, do you? ”
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao swallowed his saliva and said with a wry smile:
"Yes, I'll give you up this plan."
"Why?"
A qualified warrior must be a tough guy with a strong heart as iron, you can't imagine that a sissy orchid-fingered guy can fight bloodily without changing his face, even if that kind of cheating daddy really exists, it can probably only be the undefeated East in martial arts novels, or the head-on car overturned the anti-heaven Thebes Holy Army of the Spartan pure masters. No matter how many flaws and flaws there are in Zola Hegel's character, they cannot hide the fact that he was a true warrior, and he is also an example of perseverance. At this time, in the face of Zola's eagle-sharp gaze, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but feel that he was a coward who escaped from the battle, but his dangerous intuition told him that this choice was the right one.
After taking several deep breaths in a row, Luo Zhengdao tried his best to show a calm look and said:
"The guy on the other side is too dangerous to take such a big risk."
Hearing this, the boatswain's swarthy cheeks twitched, and he replied with a blank face:
"Pirates are never afraid of danger, we just go home empty-handed. Your Excellency, if you are afraid, you may not count your share and stay in a safe place. Brothers, go up! ”
Witnessing this situation, Luo Zhengdao watched Zola Hegel walk away in amazement, how could he justify his suffering? No matter how you explain it now, in the end, it will be understood by the other party as a coward's shameless quibble to hide the weakness of his heart! At this point, even if Luo Zhengdao has a thousand words, he can only turn into a sigh, and it is too difficult for people to understand each other.
"Boom-"
"Come on! Kill them and kill all the pigs! ”
The long, low, hull crash of the ship marked the beginning of the bloody and brutal broadside battle, and the frenzied cries of pirates for the riches made people shudder. No matter how wide the deck of the battleship is, it cannot be compared with the situation of the war in the 6 places, not to mention the obstacles such as sail rigging that can be seen everywhere on the ship, and the spears and halberds used by the 6th Army in combat cannot be used at all in this cramped environment, so the weapons used by the pirates participating in the white-knuckle battle are short weapons such as swords. Of course, the harsh environment of the battlefield does not mean that long-range weapons are useless, and in naval warfare, long-range weapons such as bows and muskets are even more useful because of the large number of obstacles.
On the masts and lookouts of the battleship, archers and musketeers were trying with all their might, aiming and firing as fast as possible, and they tried to suppress their opponents with long-range fire. Their superiority gave them an excellent stage for performance, this kind of long-range attack by name, the target was a vulnerable target without armor protection, and the slaughter efficiency of the bow and musket was even more exaggerated than that of 6 battles.
As is unwritten tradition in broadside warfare, the light eagle and rotary guns deployed on deck were already loaded with shotgun and grapeshot before the two ships began to throw ropes at each other. When the distance was so close that the sailors could almost reach out and touch the side of the other ship, the two sides who were about to jump on each other's decks first started a cruel game of cannon against each other's noses, and every roar of firearms would take more than one life, killing and death seemed so cheap at this time, as long as no one was absolutely safe in the battlefield.
"Bang! Bang! Bang......"
"Kill them! Come on! Slaughter these mongrels! We want money, lots and lots of money! Bastard, don't get in the way of your uncle if you don't want to die! O great god of war! Please bless me! ”
After retreating before the battle, Luo Zhengdao was reduced to a spectator at this time, and he stayed with Vina Dubov on the command platform on the stern deck of the Yangwei to watch the battle, and he was in a state of unease, but what Luo Zhengdao had about this battle would not affect the next course of events.
With a pepper shaker pistol in his left hand and a broad-bladed saber in his right hand, Zola Hegel led the group of pirates to the front. When they collectively charged towards the deck of the enemy ship, the bloodthirsty fighting spirit that swore to die and never looked back was even infected by Luo Zhengdao, who was watching the battle in the rear, and his heart couldn't stop a burst of enthusiasm, and Luo Zhengdao calmed down after only being excited. On the paddle battleship opposite, the mysterious figure hidden under the black hood and cloak always gave him a lingering sense of foreboding, and what Luo Zhengdao needed to do later was to be ready to take action and assist these reluctant subordinates to wipe their butts and deal with the aftermath.
"Blazing Magic Bullet!"
"Bang-"
"Ahh Help me! Help me! I'm burned! Help me! ”
Sure enough, the situation was as bad as Luo Zhengdao had predicted in advance, and just when everything seemed to be smooth, an unexpected situation occurred.
For example, anything that involves gods and gods such as foreseeing the future, there is a good chance that they will have a fight with Uncle Bailey's crow's mouth, and they will never be as reliable as Brother Paul the Octopus. Good spirits, bad spirits, this is the normal situation in accordance with the general prophecy law, and over time, it is inevitable that the crow's beak will be disgusted. At this time, only to hear a shout, a golden flame the size of a house suddenly appeared in the midst of the warring people, seeing this fire ball explode into a raging sea of fire, more than a dozen sailors belonging to Luo Zhengdao's side and a comparable number of enemy crew members were wrapped in the rolled tongue of fire, and immediately turned into a wailing humanoid torch and rolled on the ground.
Seeing this scene, even Luo Zhengdao, who had been mentally prepared, couldn't help but gasp, Nima, this method is too cruel, it is clear that it is to kill all enemies and me!
"Purgatory drink!"
"Magic Rain!"
"Mad Crown!"
"Demon Moon Curse!"
At this moment, in the chaotic scene of the two sides facing each other to embark on the white-knuckle battle on the ship, the mysterious black-robed man's spell attack did not show the slightest sign of pausing because it might injure his own personnel, and the spells cast like a cannonball turned against the concept of the Arcanist of the New World, which is commonly known as the group of "mages".
It was only at this time that among the pirates belonging to Luo Zhengdao's side, someone who finally recognized the true occupation of the black-robed man, and they shouted in a hoarse voice like a wail:
"Sorcerer! He's a sorcerer! Everyone, retreat! ”
"This guy is a warlock!"
"Run, wow!"
